cdflib.getCompressionCacheSize

Number of compression cache buffers

Syntax

numBuffers = cdflib.getCompressionCacheSize(cdfId)


Description

numBuffers = cdflib.getCompressionCacheSize(cdfId) returns the number of cache buffers used for the compression scratch Common Data Format (CDF) file. cdfId identifies the CDF file. For a discussion of cache schemes, see the CDF User's Guide.

Examples

Open the example CDF file and check the compression cache size of the file:

cdfId = cdflib.open("example.cdf");

numBuf = cdflib.getCompressionCacheSize(cdfId)

numBuf =

    80

% Clean up
cdflib.close(cdfId)
clear cdfId

Tips

• This function corresponds to the CDF library C API routine CDFgetCompressionCacheSize.

• To use this function, you must be familiar with the CDF C interface. You can access the CDF documentation at the CDF website.
